Pred reduction and feelings of low blood sugar
'Morning everyone! I am using DL's slow taper and have reduced to the dose which has caused flares in the past - between 5mg and 7mg. I have been on 6mg for over a week and have noticed feelings of hunger and the associated feelings of low blood sugar plus, this morning, tightness in the neck muscles

Ozempic
I am type 2 diabetic and went on ozempic as as a weight loss tool and to bring my sugar down. It is working but the side effects don't seem worth it. When my dosage of ozempic goes up The side effects come back. Does anyone have the same issues?

High Cholesterol
Any advice please on my lipid results taken from a finger prick sample when attending an appointment at Our Future Health research programme. They were elevated . Total cholesterol 7.6 mmol/L HDL 1.22 mmol/AL Triglycerides 4.72 mmol/L They did not record LDL unfortunately. It was non-fasting.

Serotonin Syndrome
One was Duloxitine used for
diabetic
neuropathy
, the other a trial drug Tarpentadol, an opioid. I had to reduce and then stop my morphine sulphate which I have been on for ten years which was not pleasant. I was advised I would feel rough for four days but then be fine.

Metformin
Has anyone tried Metformin for PD? I am trying it , but having difficulty with nausea and weight loss. I will stick with it if someone can tell me it is beneficial, but if not , I would rather stop it?

Decipher this cholesterol reading please
I know there are plenty of knowledgeable people reading these posts so can you decipher this please Chol 3.5 mmol/L, LDL , HDL 1.78 mmol/L,Chol:HDL ratio , Tri 0.51 mmol/L. I don’t understand this. I’m guessing my cholesterol reading is 3.5, but what are HDL and LDL readings individually?

Infections during Chemo
After my LRP (2010) I had UTI's continually for ~2 years. I have no idea what finally shook them off -- a change from a tropical to a temperate climate, maybe? I am not coming to the end of the oral treatments available to me. At some time in the not too distant future I will be moving to docetaxel

BLOOD RESULTS - HELP PLEASE
GP didn't do a great job of translating. My learned friends can probably do much better: ESR 5.8 CRP 5.0 LDL 3.89 HDL 1.89 TC 6.3 (should the LDL and HDL not add up) Triglycerides 1.48 Glucose 5 My BP is controlled with meds. I do not want to go on a statin. She wants me on one. What do you all think

Questions about rise in HbA1c
Hi, I started on prednisolone 20mgs on 26th January this year for 4 weeks, tapering 1mg every two weeks, currently on 16mgs (10 mgs am, 6mgs pm). HbA1c last August was 5.5% , result last week was 6% (42.0 mol/mol). My diet has been much the same throughout although I’ve been trying to reduce carbs further

Does reducing blood sugar help?
I am wondering what happens if cll patients just eat foods that cut out sugar spikes? Does that help? I see lots of studies showing that fasting is generally helpful fighting cancer, as is cutting out sugar. So what about with CLL? I know some pple are into fasting here and others not- I was thinking
